New York Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuk fired back: “it’s gotta be tough on the outside looking in on all these championships lately.”

“I agree with him,” Jones told USA Today, “and the only thing I’m saying is that I’ll never get used to it. It is tough on the outside looking in. That’s the way I felt when I got in the NFL as an owner. I didn’t want to be on the outside, looking in.

“The Giants are an inspiration … it is opening the NFL season in front of such a high-profile forum … the Wednesday night game — all of that is there. We have that kind of respect for them”.

MTS co-founder Geoff Johnson is a lifelong Mets fan, something he can't do anything about. He has a great track record when it comes to wagering on baseball – largely because he's more than willing to bet against the Mets. His career profits are impressive, but not quite as good as his handsome friend Frank Lorenzo. He wishes he hadn't let Frank write his profile.
